Red Moon Returns

Jingle bell, jingle bell.

In the mist at night, more than a dozen dark police carriages and hundreds of policemen in blue uniforms blocked Triangle Street.

The small building was already empty.

Not long after the special astronomical phenomenon occurred, seven staff members in the Thorn Flower died at the same time. The cause of death was unknown, but there were a large number of spiders crawling out of all the corpses.

The police from the Hall of Misery and the Hall of Order, who were responsible for medical affairs, arrived together and blocked the streets on the grounds of suspected Black Death. Everyone was taken back for medical examination and review.

However, shortly after the blockade, tightly sealed carriages entered the blockade area one after another. Representatives of twelve churches, the regional leaders of four semi-open secret societies, the local governor of the Watchmen, a direct agency of the royal family, and the Rangers of the special department of the Governor's Palace The person in charge and the top executives of various mysterious organizations appeared outside the small building, staring at the small building solemnly.

A particularly bright red moonlight still shrouded the small building. The moonlight had dimmed a lot, but it was still eye-catching and could not be ignored.

In the perception of these people, the bright moonlight still retains the vast and majestic mysterious power. Even though dozens of minutes have passed, it has not completely faded away. What's even more strange is that this force did not destroy any obstacles, but went straight deep into the ground to explode at a fixed point.

"Someone has activated the power of the stars." The chairman of the Archaeological Association, who has level 8 power, is the most powerful person here. The old man took off his unilateral glasses, stroking his long beard and sighed, "This is so powerful, it's like a god descending from the sky." Mr. V, has any legendary powerhouse informed you that he is coming to visit?”

Mr. V, a powerful and powerful fifth-level soul-shifter and the district chief of the Watchers, lowered his head like a student in the group. Hearing this, he immediately shook his head and said: "Absolutely not. Chairman Ole, do you think this is a certain person?" The masterpiece of a legendary strongman?”

"You can't even reach the ninth level of power. You can only be a legendary powerhouse, kid."

The district bishop of the Church of the Sun, Harlan, a seventh-level soul-changer with power, was dressed in a priest's robe, and his bald head shone in the moonlight. He drew a circle on his forehead with his fingers in front of the moonlight, which was the greeting gesture of the Church of the Sun showing respect:

"Strength is secondary. Anyway, it relies on the power of attracting stars. Advanced soul-shifters of level seven or above can barely master the method. However, if you want to not destroy any obstacles on the way and let the power follow the moonlight, it goes against common sense. It erupted in a cave thirty-four meters underground, striking the mythical creature accurately without harming any human being. Such precise control and strange manipulation techniques were unheard of by anyone present except for the legendary powerhouse. There is no other possibility, unless the true god comes to the world, so now I am only worried about what purpose your Excellency has in concealing his identity."

"There shouldn't be any malice. After all, he helped us clean up a group of mythical creatures that had sneaked into the city. If it weren't for the other party's help, you would have had to work harder to clean up." Dark Night Archbishop Trinlais was one of the few ordinary people present. One of them, standing next to him was a strong man with level 7 power from the Church of Dark Night, but it was him, an ordinary person, who spoke, "I heard that two watchmen were besieged by the group of cold spiders below, and suddenly someone came Send a beam of light down and clean up all the cold spiders?"

"One is a watchman, and the other is private detective Lynch Leviev, our external consultant who helped the watchmen investigate the massacre in the square." Mr. V explained, "They are still doing a physical examination in the carriage and they need me. Call them in for questioning?"

"That's not necessary."

This is a middle-aged man wearing a pointed wizard hat and a purple robe. Gurman, the president of the Rhine branch of the Arcane Seminar, has a seventh level of power. Gurman shook his hat:

"Since the other party obviously has no malicious intent, there are only two possibilities. Either he has some grudge against the Abyss Web Weaver, found out that his descendants were cold spiders, and killed them. The other possibility is that he intentionally wanted to help the two people below. , ask them at this time, it’s okay if you can’t ask them. If young people can’t hide things in their hearts, if they really ask something, do you know what they plan to do in the future? "

As soon as this person's words came out, more than 20 big people present nodded their heads, but everyone was still thinking about it. One of them, a kind-faced old woman wearing a nun's uniform, coughed for a while and smiled at Mr. V: "Those two people you just mentioned What is the child’s name?”

Mr. V immediately stood up straight with his hands down, his expression quite respectful. The old woman was the first-aid Sister Nightingale of the Church of the Suffering. She was only a fifth-level soul-shifter, but she had personally traveled to many epidemic areas, and her staff had saved countless lives. When the district bishop of the Tribulation Church saw her, he had to obey her orders obediently.

"Lynch Leviev and Natalie Angel."

"Okay, remember to remind me when you get back." The old woman asked the middle-aged nun beside her, "Strengthen the records of these two people and mark out the suspected support of legendary powerful people."

Well... there was another burst of nodding. Before the nuns could react, various other organizations had begun to issue similar requests one by one. Basically, there was only one guiding ideology, try to downplay the omen tonight, and treat it as anything. It didn't happen. As for the two parties involved, they are suspected to be supported by super powerful people, so try not to provoke them.

Soon, after everyone had their own thoughts, the gathered big shots dispersed quickly. The unknown legendary powerhouse might still be nearby, so it was best to avoid them as much as possible.

However, the two targets of attention who were suspected to be supported by super powerful people did not know what was happening here. The two had already boarded the police carriage that sent Lynch home, and together they watched Lynch play with his soul.

Actually watching him test his new toy - the alienated soul.

Lynch tested it several times and found that as long as he kept his consciousness inward, a red moon appeared in his mind, and the red mist, symbolizing the hidden divine power, hovered around the red moon in the form of a ball of light, like a satellite.

The shadow of the red moon is your own soul. When your consciousness comes into contact with it, you will feel like looking in a mirror, and you can perceive the state of your soul more clearly.

And when the consciousness focused on Divine Power for the first time, countless indescribable and incomprehensible information exploded directly in the depths of consciousness.

Lynch was shocked.

But the red moon of the soul immediately lit up with a crimson light, and under the moonlight, this information gently merged into the consciousness.

Lin Qi felt confused, as if he understood a lot of strange and extraordinary knowledge, but at the same time he seemed to understand nothing. According to neighbor Luna's explanation, this is normal. With Lynch's current soul strength, it is impossible to understand it too deeply. As his soul becomes stronger, he will slowly understand the meaning of power.

As for now, Lynch at least knows how to use it.

After completing the alienation, under normal conditions, his physical and mental strength have been significantly improved. The previous weak body with malnutrition was probably the limit of bench pressing 30 kilograms, but now Lynch estimates that he can press four or five kilograms. Ten kilograms is not a problem, and if you continue to exercise, you can continue to increase it.

Not only that, under normal conditions, he can use various abilities affiliated with divine power and some secret techniques that rely on soul energy. This was normal like when Officer Natalie took him out of the siege of the Terror Claws in Memories of Strange Objects. Status application. For the soul-shifters, this is just a simple matter of dealing with the enemy, not even a battle.

And when a certain divine power is activated, like what Officer Natalie did last night, after the image of the power is blown up and merged with itself, it will enter an excited state. While the physical strength rises again, the effects of various abilities will also be obvious. enhance,

If the soul statue itself explodes and merges into the body, it will enter the final transcendental state and gain all-round strengthening. But once it ends, it will fall into a short-term weak state like the police officer did last night, and even the cobwebs will not be able to break free.

But Lin Qi immediately realized that with the only power he had, he actually had no ability at all, it was completely blank.

After asking Officer Natalie, I learned that whether it is the ability of power or the secret method hidden deep in the soul, one must understand it to master it.

The secret method is similar to magic. It can be learned by reading various mysterious documents and the experiences of predecessors. Ability is more troublesome. There are many specific ways to understand it, but it can be summed up in one sentence, which is to understand it from mysterious memories through mysterious contact. .

"For ordinary people, mystery is full of fatal dangers, but only by being constantly exposed to mystery can we, the soul-shifters, have the chance to become stronger." The police officer smiled faintly, "This is the soul-shifter. A deformed fate, being with the mystery every day, until one day I can no longer support it, being completely swallowed up by the mystery, and becoming a member of the mystery. So, welcome to the world of soul-shifters, Lin Qi, what are your plans in the future? "

"Me? I plan to keep my firm open, but change it to an abnormal events firm."

"Huh? Is there any reason?"

"My situation is not optimistic now, and I must improve my strength as soon as possible. First, I have just offended the Abyss Webweaver. I don't understand its emotions, but the cultists behind it will definitely not be happy. I must improve my strength to guard against them. Second, the mastermind in the Randall family painting has not yet appeared. I have escaped the sight of the flicker and deceived it once. The mastermind behind the scenes is likely to make other moves now. It may have become the target of two evil cultists, so we must be prepared to deal with it as soon as possible. "

Lin Qi sighed. There were still some things he couldn't say.

The goal of immortality, which is like a carrot on a stick, is too tempting. If he wants to achieve immortality, he must conflict with the evil god. In addition, the acquisition of various abilities requires constant mysterious contact. He is obviously more powerful than other soul-shifters. Frequent exposure to mystery is required.

In his opinion, there is nothing more suitable for him than a private detective who specializes in handling mysterious events. Not only is he free, but he can also have various channels to confront the mysterious, and he can also quickly expand his network of contacts in the mysterious world and earn money. There is a lot of money, and I am familiar with this field.

The only flaw is the danger, but precisely because of the danger, it is even more necessary to be exposed to more mysteries to improve your strength.

So he made up his mind to regard this career as the first step on his road to immortality. Well, at least he had to earn living expenses first.

"Well, indeed, this is the most important thing for you right now." Officer Natalie's face suddenly became a little disappointed, she looked away and said softly, "The subsequent investigation has exceeded the scope of the previously agreed consultant, so there is no need for you to participate. Okay. Take care of your own affairs first. If you need help with anything, just go to the club and see me. I won’t affect you for the time being.”

Lin Qi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, with a half-smiling expression: "I don't want to hide something from you. I promised a person to help him investigate a series of cases related to the massacre in the square, even more in-depth than your investigation. In exchange for Hongyue Memories' life-saving help, although it is no longer urgently needed, the other party gave me a helping hand when I needed it most. As long as the other party did not show any malice, I will try my best to complete this commission. This is mine. Bottom line. And I will also need Red Moon Memories in the future.”

Officer Natalie nodded frequently, the disappointment on her face disappeared.

"However, on the first day of the investigation, I had a close contact with the evil god and was connected to a big shot in the city hall. The involvement must be very wide and the danger is very high. I am just a rookie who has just been alienated and has not even learned the ability. , I feel scared when I encounter such a dangerous case, and I want to find someone to protect me and work together to investigate. So, are you willing to help me, Natalie? "

The police officer bit her lip and looked away, with a blush on her face and said: "Let me make it clear first, I have no intention of asking a layman to help, and I don't think you are reliable. But you are right, the subsequent risks will not be small. It will be very dangerous for you to investigate recklessly. In order to protect your life, I can only help even if I am reluctant. Why are you laughing? I will stop you from laughing. "

"Pfft, pfft, I really didn't laugh." Lynch had already covered his mouth and was lying in the car, holding back his laughter and stammered, "I'm just wondering, did you say no without looking away? What a reasonable thing to say.”

"I'm making you laugh." The police officer didn't hide her blushing face at all. She stepped on Lynch's foot 'gently' and rolled her eyes angrily and said, "If you laugh again, I will step on you. Please be honest." Explain, what should we do next?”

"First of all, there are the information on confrontation and death cases. The web weaver you described today should hide secrets from people, so as not to set the police station on fire. So there should be some problems behind this, and we'd better see it. Those information may contain some secrets."

"Secondly, little Martha said that when she helped a reporter send photos to her colleagues, the ring was tainted with mystery. At that time, I thought of the Downey who died in Mrs. Bessie's store. Maybe there could be a breakthrough in this person. In short, You can try it first from the Investigator."

"Third is the Valente family. The mountaineer we saw in the afternoon, the one with the sarcoma, is probably the mountaineer Jeremy mentioned who peeked at strange objects. We still don't know what role the Valente family plays in it. role, but it’s also a breakthrough.”

"The last thing is the city hall..."

"The Speaker of the House of Commons does have a high status. I'm afraid it's difficult to deal with it directly." Officer Natalie said with some worry.

"I understand, so I suggest that the people directly related to the Railway Workers' Union in front of the stage should be dealt with as soon as possible. The speaker should not move or even ask anything. It is best not to even report matters related to him to avoid letting him It will be easier for us to investigate now that we know his secret.”

"Yes, I understand." Officer Natalie looked at Lynch's analysis seriously and nodded lightly.

"Then starting tomorrow morning, we will launch a targeted investigation, starting with the Investigator Report."

"Okay, but I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow morning. When I left just now, Victor asked me to tell you that he would come to the club tomorrow and take you somewhere to meet some people."

"Huh? What are you doing? I'm not interested in socializing, and I don't really want to go."

"A formal award, and I will take you to meet some high-quality customers in the future." Officer Natalie showed a bright smile, "Would you like to go to the man who only has thirteen shillings?"

"For the honor of the watchmen." Lynch immediately shouted loyally, "Why don't we go overnight now?"

The first volume is over. I think the problem solving part of this edition is quite acceptable. I don’t know how everyone feels.

At the beginning of the second volume, Lynch is about to embark on an immortal road full of swindling and cheating, leading a miserable life of cheating and tricking people to make money, eating, sleeping and cheating evil gods. I hope brothers can continue to support me. Thank you all.

Also, please read it, please.
